Re: Poly - L -vs- Amino Alco (++ Slides)

At the end of John Kiernan's authorative description of how different
"section adhesives" work, he gives his own preference for chrome/-
gelatin.
As John suggests, there appears not to have been (or there does
not appear to have been), a properly conducted, published study of
the comparative merits of the 3/4 realistic contenders for "best"
tissue adhesive.
In the absence of such a study, and crude in the extreme (a fault
of which I am too often accused), I start the opinion poll with the
view that APES is a thousand times better for immuno. than is
John's prefered chrome/gelatin.
Now lets get that opinion poll rolling. Make your choice:
1. (Mayer's) egg albumin
2. chrome/ gelatin
3. polylysine
4. APES
5. Other - specify.
